Jean d’Estrée

As an associate of professional little music ensembles, d’Estree was an oboist, composer and choreographer. Nearly all his compositions had been dances though he didn’t often utilize the normative chanson form. Four books of “danseries” had been compiled by d’Estree you need to include about 120 different branles in variance. A few of his functions are extant because of the reprinting by Phalese. Servings of other functions are extant: either the cheapest part only which only shows harmonic bass lines with solid I, IV, V harmonics, or both highest and least expensive parts which reveal qualitative functions. The four books of dances made up by d’Estree express the reality from the dance methods within France through the middle to past due 16th century.
